0. Ongoing Action List

Updated in Savannah task list.


1. Production Issues

- Killing jobs in data upload phase
Stuart mentioned several jobs were killed recently during output data upload, a simple fix was added to disable the watchdog CPU / wall clock check during finalisation to avoid this.  The fix was deployed in v5r3p1.

Ricardo initiated some discussion on output data uploads being performed in parallel, this will be further discussed with Andy offline.


2. DIRAC Release Update

- LHCb/DIRAC v5r3, v5r3p1
See above, Andrei will make an ELOG for this.

- Upcoming v5r4 release
There are several minor new features pending for this release that will be collected soon.  Also, the v5r1 binaries will be used.  The deadline for this is Thursday.


3. DIRAC Tasks

We are approaching midday so DIRAC tasks are left for next week.


4. AOB

The CHEP abstracts suggestions should be implemented and added to the LHCb page.

There are minutes attached to this event. Show them.

      The task list is available via the Savannah DIRAC group ( Task List ). If you are not already registered please do so at the Savannah page. In order to streamline the time spent during PASTE on the actions list only tasks in the status 'ToBeDiscussed' will be discussed there. In case some actions fall by the wayside they will automatically be updated to this status. Therefore the action assignees should take care to update this. For ongoing actions it is advantageous to report any progress in the Savannah tasks each week.
